    Art is powerful because art humanizes. So much care was taken to tell this story, and we’re all better off for it. I love how the majority of the cast went through the Sing Sing program for real. This film doesn’t shy away from the pain, but more importantly, it doesn’t shy away from the joy.

    This was EXCRUCIATING — very well done but just such a tough watch. So many layered performances and themes. Great use of color to pull the viewer into Moonee’s world. Not to discredit Sean Baker, but the film lowkey ended the exact same way as Anora…

    HOLY SHIT and people think Saltburn is disturbing?? What a twisty ride that screws with your brain, resulting in an emotionally fucked-up story that keeps viewers on edge and clawing for the next puzzle piece. I loveddd the filmmaking techniques and the clear inspiration from the French New Wave. This movie perfectly encapsulates a grittiness that lacks in more modern cinema. Park Chan-Wook’s a crazy bastard for this one. Open Pandora’s box if you dare…

    Nothing in this movie gave what it needed to give, especially the actor who played Peter Pan. His performance was so bad that it took away from scenes. For all the effort they clearly tried to put into cast diversity, they couldn’t have tried to actually make the film itself good??
